Tips For Organizing Compliance Webinars

By Matthew Gibson


In all industries, webinars are taking the current online communication age by storm. However, webinars can fail to be successful if they are not organized and managed properly. Several factors should be kept in mind when training to become successful webinars. Below are tips for organizing compliance webinars.

Establishing the agenda and major topics to cover on your webinar is tricky. The topics chosen will determine the rate at which you will get participants. Reflecting the new challenges in technology is bound to attract more attention than discussing common topics on the webinar. The best presentations take not more than an hour to ensure your audience gets every detail.

In all training, the learning materials should be formatted and designed engagingly. Restricting the webinar into slides that have textual or heavy content that is interspersed with the speech from the presenter can be boring. Use videos, images, and desktop sharing on all topics. The format should keep the audience interested while tackling the agenda at the same time.

A webinar can take a considerable time, and training the participants as a host can be tiring. Therefore, employing or hiring a few facilitators to help you out with training can make it run smoothly. Also, assign one of them to manage any technical issues that may arise as you move on with the webinar. Enlisting a qualified team from the onset of the project will result to more professional trainees who will be ready to roll the ball once they have gone through compliance procedures.

The training should be conducted in areas that have excellent network coverage. People using wireless connections may find it difficult to access the internet in remote areas. Space should have all the required equipment to keep the webinar going. Microphones power chords, network cables, and headsets are essential for the training. Confirm their availability and functioning before the arrival of the participants.

People need enough time to prepare psychologically and financially for training. Send invitations a few weeks to the webinar to give them sufficient time to confirm their participation. However, training that will be organized on holidays and weekends face a possibility of boycotted lessons, since this is their free and private times. Consulting the attendants on their days of preference can be ideal. In case you have trainees from other continents, consider the time difference to avoid inconveniencing them.

The best presentations are those that have been practiced severally before their actual presentation. This ensures that the audience gets the best and nothing less. Therefore it is wise for you to understand and practice the content in your presentation. Over the practice, you will discover any loopholes or areas that may need rectification in good time. This in turn will ensure that your audience gets the best webinar presentation.

Similar to any training forum, an awareness campaign should be carried weeks or months before the start day of the webinar. This can be expedited through traditional and digital advertisement strategies. Moreover, you can send written invitations to your regular attendants.
